Nonmonotone equilibrium problems: coercivity conditions and weak regularization

We consider a general equilibrium problem in a finite-dimensional space setting and propose a new coercivity condition for existence of solutions. We also show that it enables us to create a broad family of regularization methods with preserving well-definiteness and convergence of the iteration sequence without additional monotonicity assumptions. Some examples of applications are also given.
